 \section{Version 1.6.0}{\itemize{
 \item Support the SVT_SparseMatrix version 1 class definition in \code{saveObject}.
 However, note that this was not implemented for the soft-deprecated \code{writeSparseMatrix}, which now errors if such objects are passed in.
+
+\item Added a \code{extract_sparse_array()} method for the \code{WrapperArraySeed} class, for some future-proofing when the seeds eventually make the switch.
